Since my last post I have not been up to much. Just working and starting yesterday I got back into sewing! Wow have I missed that. We even got new fabulous machines that I am not giving back till I leave. I have so much I want to do. So hopefully in the next week or so I will have pictures to share. 

Oh and I started applying for jobs in Winnipeg. Booo! I don't want to leave but Joel asked nicely so I am going to leave him be. He has a big test and we all know how loud and distracting I can be so I am coming home. If anyone hears of any jobs they think I might be interested in please send me an e-mail!

I didn't take pictures of anything interesting this week but I realized I did not tell you about my time in Italy and Paris. So let's go back in time to the middle of March. 

I love Italy. So much so I have been there 3 times in the last 3 years. Every spring I seem to make my way over to hang with my bestie, my sister. One of the reasons I love staying with her is the food. Oh can Luca and Ellen cook. Let's take a look at the feast we had for Luca's birthday...






It is no surprise I come home weighing more then when I left. But how do you pass on any of it? Seriously if you know how to say no to delicious food please let me know! 

The ladies waiting to enjoy the afternoon in the sun eating way too much food. 


Obviously we had to do some shopping. 
We went to the market in town and did a little shopping and chased Emma through stalls. 




Then the highlight of the trip. Italia in Miniatura!!! Yep that's right miniature Italy! Ellen and I have been wanting to go since last spring. Emma was too little so this year we had to go. She loved to push all the buttons and watch the little trains and cars move. 


Thumbs up for Rome! 


See how little everything is. Super fun!


The rest of the trip was filled with walks, playing at the park, trips to Ikea, and a lot of laughing. I took on my role of Nanny Annie again and cuddled babies, changed diapers, helped with bath time and did some dishes. At least this time Emma knew may name, well Auntie Auntie is close to Auntie Annie right?

After one last new baby cuddle and a cute I love you from Emma I headed to Paris.
Paris is beautiful and so are all the people living there. 
It was a little lonely sight seeing by myself so I guess I will have to go back. 
But I did do the things everyone should.

1. Eat croissants (yes multiple)



2. Visit the Eiffel Tower


3. Enjoy the beautiful parks and architecture



Half of one day was not nearly enough time to really see everything I wanted to but I did love what I saw! 
Sorry for the delay on this half of the trip.
Hope you enjoyed my quick review!
